Allow gifs in dialogs. Gifs are an html thing I know, but there's gotta be some way to make them compatible with mirc dialogs.
Also, how about a dialog maker built in to mIRC?

They could easily be but I understand there is a licence issue with .gif images.

The LZW patent (that gifs use) has been copyrighted and any program that wishes to provide any kind of gif support must pay a quite large amount of money to the company that owns the patent. Read more details here. (thanks qwerty  ).

Right idea, wrong words. They don't own a copyright on the "LZW patent" they own a patent on the "LZW algorithm"

Perhaps instead of GIF, PNG which I heard was actually better in a lot of ways, like the fact you don't have to pay lots of money...

If you read on burnallgifs.org it says it expires on the 20th in the US, mIRC is not made in the US. It says the patents last longer in other countries.
